Now she’s back to cutting sugar cane In Thailandfor 300 baht per day again. ATM may be locked up. Still the scissors were a somewhat extreme measure.

Would have been better just to report the theft to the police, rather than self ending up in a Cambodian prison cell...

The man is an idiot. Just what we don't need in this part of the world.

I don't have much sympathy for the guy or the gal.

He shouldn't have given her the opportunity to steal, small security boxes are cheap.

She shouldn't have taken it.

He shouldn't have been violent towards her, just asked her to leave.
